Voor Bayrous komst was de stad vies en verwaarloosd, zegt Claude net als veel stadsgenoten.

Like many of his fellow townspeople, Claude says that the city was dirty and neglected before Bayrou's arrival.

You're correct, Wendy.

Just for clarification Mark - the way you have translated, it comes across that many of his fellow townspeople are dirty and neglected ?
Is this correct, or is the meaning that many of his fellow townspeople say the same thing?
If it is the second meaning, how about: says Claude, who speaks for many of his fellow townspeople.
